I hope I look this good when I’m 94.

I know vintage instruments aren't everyone's cup of tea, but you have to admit that this one is pretty cool. It's an almost pristine 1924 King Saxello. The original silver plate is nearly 100%. The most amazing part is that that case is in the same great condition, and it still has the original mouthpiece, lyre and cute little V stand. It's nice to see it was so well taken care of for all these years. Now that it's in top playing condition it just needs to find a new home.

These turned out better than I had hoped! Here is a picture of some Pisoni pads on the Mark VI in the previous post. I decided to try Matt Stohrer's technique of giving the pads a light coat of lacquer before installation. It is absolutely brilliant!! They seal extremely well, the leather is still supple, they are waterproof (yes I tested) and there is no sticking at all. Not even a little bit. Thank you Matt!!!!
